I’m in Sentani, Papua, Indonesia. The eclipse has started. Moon is the same normal color at the moment. Clouds are moving in so I’m not sure what I’ll be able to see.

I also have to teach in the morning. I might decide to sleep if it gets too late. Why couldn’t these things be scheduled in the daytime so my students could see it?

Here in Dallas it is about 50% right now. I think it will go full red in about 20 minutes.

Here in Kansas City the moon is about 85% + obscured at 0630.

There are some very thin high clouds which are filtering the clarity of the viewing.

All in all pretty cool. And the best part is that I can see it my window and don’t have to go outside!
